Sam The Plumber

I called Sam the Plumber to get a quote to run a new waterline to the exterior side of my home.
I told Sam that my existing water pressure from another existing hose bib at the back of the house wasn’t very strong and wanted to know what could be done to increase pressure.
Sam came by that night to take a look and provide a free estimate.
He used a water pressure gauge to determine how strong the existing pressure was and suggested we install the new line using a 3/4” water line all the way to the outside which should give the maximum amount of water volume and pressure.
The price was very reasonable for the parts and labour, and Sam was able to schedule me in quickly since it was a relative small job.
He arrived on time the day of the installation with two employees to assist.
They all wore boot covers and finished the job in the time he estimated it would take.
He tested all the connections and explained the procedure to prepare it for the winter and they cleaned up the work area.
The water pressure is better than what I had expected, and I love the new hose bib and have been using it every day to water the trees, wash my vehicles and outside deck.
Sam is very organized and knowledgeable, and did not pressure me into doing the job at all.
Great guy and a pleasure to have met him and his crew.

Sam was referred to me by a neighbour who has worked with him on other jobs. I have had other plumbers to the house but Sam made an impression. Sam first came to the house the day before the job to check out what was required to simply move a drain pipe over to fit and install a new laundry sink and faucet. In addition to assessing my need, he noted the condition of my washing machine water lines, which were well over 5 years old and showing major signs of corrosion which we were unaware of. Through a little education by him, we realized he wasn't trying to up sell us on something we didn't need but he was letting us have the choice to be proactive to deter an inevitable water disaster. While we had a plumber on site, we had Sam look at two other minor concerns. Again, he provided some education on basic do's and dont's which we thought we knew but we just were not doing completely. The quote he gave us prior to the job I felt was reasonable. He was polite, timely and did the job efficiently. I would refer him and definitely hire him again.
